  • A taxonomic review of the fungal-inhabiting plant bugs (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Miridae: Cylapinae) from the Korean Peninsula
    Elsevier, 2019
    Co-Authors: Junggon Kim, Jongok Lim, Sunghoon Jung
    Abstract:

    The subfamily Cylapinae (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Miridae) is first reviewed from Eastern continental region, the Korean Peninsula, with findings of four newly recorded species. The tribe Bothriomirini Kirkaldy is recognized for the first time based on the specimens of Bothriomiris gotohi Yasunaga, 2000. The genera Fulvius and Peritropis are also first reported with discoveries of F. ussuriensis Kerzhner, 1973, F. nozawai Yasunaga & Wolski, 2017, and P. advena Kerzhner, 1973. The record of genus Punctifulvius is confirmed on the basis of the species of Punctifulvius kerzhneri Schmitz, 1978. The variable character of F. nozawai between populations and ambiguous character of B. gotohi are discussed. The morphological information including diagnosis and brief biology of each species are presented. A key to the cylapine species in the continental region of Eastern Palaearctic Hemisphere is also provided. Keywords: Cylapinae, Continental region, Eastern Hemisphere, Miridae, New recor

  • Two newly recorded genera Tolongia and Yamatolygus of the mirine plant bugs (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Miridae) from the Korean Peninsula
    Elsevier, 2019
    Co-Authors: Junggon Kim, Wongun Kim, Sunghoon Jung
    Abstract:

    Two genera of the plant bug in the subfamily Mirinae (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Miridae) are newly reported from the Korean Peninsula with discoveries of Tolongia pilosa Yasunaga, 1991 and Yamatolygus insulanus Yasunaga, 1994. The male genital structure of T. pilosa is remarked. Female genitalia of Y. insulanus is described for the first time. Morphological information such as diagnoses is also provided. Keywords: Mirinae, New record, The Korean Peninsula, Tolongia, Yamatolygu

  • COI barcoding of plant bugs (Insecta: Hemiptera: Miridae).
    PeerJ, 2018
    Co-Authors: Junggon Kim, Sunghoon Jung
    Abstract:

    The family Miridae is the most diverse and one of the most economically important groups in Heteroptera. However, identification of mirid species on the basis of morphology is difficult and time-consuming. In the present study, we evaluated the effectiveness of COI barcoding for 123 species of plant bugs in seven subfamilies. With the exception of three Apolygus species-A. lucorum, A. spinolae, and A. watajii (subfamily Mirinae)-each of the investigated species possessed a unique COI sequence. The average minimum interspecific genetic distance of congeners was approximately 37 times higher than the average maximum intraspecific genetic distance, indicating a significant barcoding gap. Despite having distinct morphological characters, A. lucorum, A. spinolae, and A. watajii mixed and clustered together, suggesting taxonomic revision. Our findings indicate that COI barcoding represents a valuable identification tool for Miridae and can be economically viable in a variety of scientific research fields.

  • Sex pheromone of the mullein bug,Campylomma verbasci (Meyer) (Heteroptera: Miridae).
    Journal of chemical ecology, 1991
    Co-Authors: Robert F. Smith, Harold D. Pierce, John H. Borden
    Abstract:

    The first known sex pheromone for the family Miridae is reported for the mullein bug,Campylomma verbasci (Meyer) (Heteroptera: Miridae). Extracts of and Porapak Q-trapped volatiles from females were attractive to males in field bioassays. Butyl butyrate and hexyl butyrate were the predominant compounds in the females' volatiles, but these compounds previously had been found to be inactive when released alone or in combination. Butyl butyrate in combination with an isolated trace chemical, (E)-crotyl butyrate (which was inactive alone), rivaled the attraction elicited by five live females. When synthetic butyl butyrate and (E)-crotyl butyrate in a 16: 1 ratio were released at 91 or 183 μg/day, they comprised an effective attractant for male bugs.
